About

What is Territory Helper?

Territory Helper is pretty much exactly what its name implies - it helps servants responsible for their congregation's territories and maybe a tiny bit more.

It's a free to use web application that creates a uniform platform to create, manage and analyze a congregation's territories.
Territory Helper is the first application specifically designed for territories, eliminating the use of expensive mapping software, or even worse, paper and scissors.

Why web based?

There are a number of reasons why web is brilliant for applications.
Web based applications allow the clients, namely you, to run on whatever operating system you want.
Territory Helper is also intended for global use. Not every country has access to fast computers capable of storing and processing all of the data a congregation is generating.

The maps are all built on Google Maps API. This allows a huge array of device support for unified map viewing and editing.
Another great benefit to it being web based is that the information can be shared between the entire congregation and you never have to worry about synchronizing the data.

Background information

It has been noted that there is much frustration around trying to get existing software to fit the purposes of territory creation.
Quickly it was realized everyone was dealing with the same problems.
Some have been trying trip-planning software, some trying web based mapping software and still others resorting to good old paper and scissors.
Then an idea popped up, "Why not make an application?"

Where is Territory Helper based?

Territory Helper is developed and hosted in Sweden, not Switzerland, as shown in the map on the right.
It's a cold cold rainy country in Scandinavia which happens to have great internet for hosting a application like this.

Is it free to use?

Absolutely!
It is our ambition that Territory Helper will always be free to use and free of service charges.
Our ministry has always been such a great privilege and our continual effectiveness has only but helped many to find their way into Jehovah’s loving organization.
Territory Helper was created to assist congregations in their efforts to reach those in their territory.
Anything that can help our brothers and sisters in the field service should be available regardless of the congregation’s financial means.

With that in mind, of course there are many expenses that come with hosting a multilingual web application.
Many of these expenses include software, hardware, hosting fees, administration fees, etc. which are all outside of the volunteer services that go into creating and maintaining Territory Helper.

You never need to worry that at some time you will have to pay to gain access to this application, but if the expenses end up becoming too great it could mean that new congregations will not be able to sign up.

Generally speaking, the expenses for Territory Helper amount to about $20 USDper year per congregation.
Certainly not all congregations have the means to afford this expense and should never feel obligated.

If you would like to help keep Territory Helper available for future congregations signing up, your donations would be greatly appreciated.
